Thor Sequel Loses Director Jenkins

After Kenneth Branagh confirmed he won’t be returning to helm the sequel, Jenkins was hired for the gig – making her the first female director of a Marvel Studios movie.

Officially her departure is said to be due to “creative differences”. Jenkins adds “I have had a great time working at Marvel. We parted on very good terms, and I look forward to working with them again.”

As late as Monday afternoon Jenkins was actively working on the movie so her leaving is sudden. The hunt is now on for a new filmmaker and the vacancy is expected to be filled quickly.
